Hi all I’ve decided to move this excellent Type III on to someone that will wear it more.

Label size is 42 but to me fits somewhere between 40/42.

Measurements (pics in next post)
Chest: 22”
Shoulder: 19”
Sleeve: 23” (about 23.5” around curve)
Length from BOC to hem: 23.75”
Hem: 20”

It was made by Greg Fields during his time at Aero according to the tag that came with it.

Leather is a really robust tan steer with orange tones. Little to no pull up, water beads then soaks in quickly without leaving a mark. Been working at breaking it in for about a year now. Still more work to be done but it’s much more flexible with grain showing especially along the arms.

Stitching is solid and work all looks good to me. There is some scuffing by the sleeve. The snap directly below the midline on chest is damaged and needs fixing but stays on as long you don’t snap it. Carrie at Thurston said she has requested additional nickel snaps in their next Aero shipment if you want to replace it.

Priced to move at $375 + shipping cost ($20 CONUS) via PayPal with buyer / seller protection.

Notice how the higher snap has one visible prong while the lower has the normal two.

Had some questions which I’ll share answers to here as well.

It weighs about 6.5 pounds according to my bathroom scale, my only method for checking it.

The arms are not super restrictive. I can hold phone to ear easily, unlike with my Premier Highwayman. I don’t have any experience with Japanese sleeves to compare.
